Man Charged With Selling Ecstasy Before Concert

Police arrested a New Hampshire man Saturday night at Stabler Arena and charged him with selling Ecstasy before a Phish concert.

Shawn Woods of Nashua, N.H., was arrested after officers discovered 66 Ecstasy pills, a glass jar containing marijuana and almost $700 on him before the concert in Bethlehem, police said.

Woods was arraigned before District Justice Diane Repyneck on Saturday night and charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver, possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He remains in Northampton County Prison under $50,000 bail awaiting a hearing next Tuesday.

Police said they received complaints of a man selling drugs out of a vehicle in the Stabler Arena parking lot about 7:35 p.m. Saturday. An officer observed several people gathered around a white van and approached it, police said.

The officer noticed four nitrous oxide tanks and a glass pipe next to Woods in the van, police said.
